YOUNG  EPH'S  LAMENT, 
Sung  by  S.  S.  PUEDT. 

OH,  where  will  I  go  if  dis  war  breaks  de  country  up, 

And  de  darkeys  hab  to  scatter  around? 
Dia  dam  Bobolition,  'mancipation,  and  Secession, 

Am  a-gwine  to  run  de  nigger  in  de  groun'd  I 
For  it's  Abolition  here,  and  Secession  dere, 

And  neither  one  or  t'other  of  'em  right ; 
One  says  dis,  and  de  other  says  dat, 

And  dey  both  got  de  country  in  a  fight. 

Chorus. 
Now  what  can  a  poor  nigger  do,  etc. 

Now  what  is  de  use  of  dis  jangulatin'  fightin'  ? — 

Botheration  to  de  country  so  forlorn ! 
Why  don't  dey  'tend  to  business,  makin'  boats  and  buildin' 

railroads, 

While  de  niggers  raise  de  cottcto  and  de  com  ? 
But  Massachusetts  here,  and  South  Carolina  dere, 

Disturb  dis  happy  Union  wid  deir  growls ; 
One  says  dey  shall,  and  de  other  says  dey  shan't, 
And  Uncle  Sam  has  got  to  stand  it  all. 

So  what  can  a  poor  nigger  do,  etc. 
1* 


6  NOTHING  TO  "WEAR. 

i 

Oh,  I  wish  .dat  de  white  folks  of  dis  great  Confederation 

Would  only  quit  deir  quarrels  and  deir  fights ; 
And  stop  deir  cannonadin',  marchin',  shootin',  and  bom- 

bardin', 

Anti  be  willin'  for  to  use  each  other  right : 
For  it  is  very  plain  to  see  dat  de  end  of'it  would  be, 

Dat  they'd-  know  each  other  better  dan  before  ;  _ 
And  they'd  make  up  deir  minds  dat  in  all  future  times 
*        Dey  wouldn't  go  and  do  it  any  more. 

And  dat's  what  I  want  'em  for  to  do,  etc. 

What  a  deuced  shame  it  is — dis  Secession  revolution 

Am.  a-usin'  up  de  business  of  de  land ! 
While  trade  and  navigation,  merchandise  and  speculation, 

Hab  very  nearly  comp  to  a  stand. 
De  crops  won't  be  growed,  de  meadows  won't  be  mowed, 

'Kase  dere's  nobody  left  for  to  tend  'em; 
,  •  Dere's  a  scarcity,  it  seems,  of  cabbage,  peas,  and  beans, 
'Kase  dere's  nobody  home  for  to  send  'em. 

Now  what's  a  hungry  nigger  gwine  to  do,  etc. 


NOTHING  TO  WEAR, 
Sung  by  ARCHY  HUGHES. 

EARLY  in  the  morning,  as  I  was  promenading 

Through  the  streets  of  Brooklyn  city  fair, 
I  met  a  youthful  maiden,  her  heart  with  sorrow  laden, 

Because  she  discovered  she  had  nothing  to  wear. 
Bonnets  she  had  plenty,  and  shawls  could  count  by  twenty, 

Still  her  refrain,  as  she  walked  the  city  fair, 
Was — «i  am  tired  of  this  duster,  it  puts  me  in  a  fluster — 

It's  really  too  provoking — I've  nothing  to  wearl" 

Chorus— I  am  tired  of  this  duster,  etc. 

Silks,  and  satin  flounces,  hoops  of  all  dimensions, 

Had  this  dame  of  Brooklyn  city  fair ; 
Still,  the  fashion  changing,  her  wardrobe  disarranging, 

She  cried,  in  despair,  "I  have  nothing  fit  to  wearl" 


AURA   LEA.  „ 

Bonnets  she  had  plenty,  and  shawls  could  count  by  t 
Still  her  refrain,  as  she  walked  the  city  fair, 

Was — "  I  am  tired  of  this  duster,  it  puts  me  in  a  flustei   - 
It's  really  too  provoking — I've  nothing  to  wear!"  . 

I  am  tired  of  this  duster,  etc. 

Dear  papa,  complaining,  says  there  is  no  restraining 

The  extravagance  in  dress  of  his  Wilhelmina  fair ; 
And  then  she'd  coax  and  flatter,  and  ask  him  how  LJS 
daughter 

Could  promenade  the  streets  with  nothing  fit  to  wear! 
Bonnets  she  had  plenty,  and  shawls  could  count  by  twenty, 

Still  her  refrain,  as  she  walked  the  city  fair, 
Was — "  I  am  tired  of  this  duster,  it  puts  me  in  a  fluster — 

It's  really  too  provoking — I've  nothing  to  wearl" 

I  am  'tired  of  this  duster,  etc. 


AUSA  LEA, 

Sang  by  J.  A.  HERMAN. 

*  WHEN  the  blackbird,  in  the  spring, 

On  the  willow-tree 
Sat  and  rocked,  I  heard  him  sing — 
Singing,  "  Aura  Lea, 
Aura  Lea,  Aura  Lea, 

Maid  of  golden  hair, 
Sunshine  came  along  with  thee, 
And  swallows  in  the1  air." 

Chorus — Aura  Lea,  Aura  Lea, 

Maid  of  golden  hair, 
Sunshine  came  along  with  thee, 
And  swallows  in  the  air. 

In  thy  blush  the  rose  was  born ; 

Music,  when  you  spake ; 
Through  thine  azure^eye  the  morn 

Sparkling  seemed  to  break. 


WAIT   TILL   YOU   GET  IT. 

Aura  Lea,  Aura  Lea, ' 

Birds  of  crimson  wing 
Never  song  have  sung  to  me 

As  in  that  sweet  spring. 

Aura  Lea,  Aura  Lea,  etc. 

Aura  Lea !  the  birds  may  flee ; 

The  willow's  golden  hair 
Swing  through  winter  fitfully 

On  the  stormy  air : 
Yet,  if  thy  blue  eyes  I  see, 
Gloom  will  soon  depart; 
For  to  me,  sweet  Aura  Lea 
.  Is  sunshine  through  the  heart. 

Aura  Lea,  Aura  Lea,  etc. 


WAIT  TILL  YOU  GET  IT, 

Sung  by.  8.  8.  FCTBDT. 

OF  late,  around  town,  a  new  by-word's  come  out — 
Tou'u»hear  it  wherever  you  wander  about : 
Ask  a  friend  for  to  lend  you  two  dollars  or  three, 
And  the  answer  he'll  give  you  it  surely  will  be — 
"  Just  wait  till  you  get  it, 

"Wait  till  you  get  it ; 
And  if  you  don't  get  it, 
Wait  till  you  do!" 

Election-time  is  coming— a  candidate  runs 
To  the  sturap,  which  he  mounts,  firing  off  his  big  guns 
'Mong  the  boys  of  the  ward  his  money  he'll  spend  free 
Saying,  "  1  must  have  the  office."    The  answer  will  be- 
"  Just  wait  till  you  get  it,"  etc. 

A  fellow  gets  drafted — he  vows  it's  too  much; 

He  ain't  got  "three  hundred" — goes  in  for  a  crutch, 


SAUCY  SAM.  9 

Saying,  "I  must  have  exemption,  you  see  that  I'm  lame ;" 
But  the  keen  provost-marshal  is  up  to  his  game, 

And  says,  "Wait  till  you  get  it,"  etc. 

A  fellow  at  policy  goes  it  quite  strong, 
In  hopes  a  big  hit  will  some  tune  come  along; 
Spends  all  his  spare  change,  till  he  cleans  himself  out, 
''Cause  the  man  with  the  slips  says,  "  You'll  hit  'em,  no 
doubt — 

Only  wait  till  you  get  it, 

Wait  till  you  get  it ; 

And  if  you  don't  get  it, 

"Wait  till  you  do  1" 


SAUCT  SAM, 
Sung  by  J.  T.  BOYOS. 

I  AM  saucy  Sam,  a  Southern  nig,  as  you  can  plainly 
I  was  born  among  de  sugar-cane,  'way  down  in  Tennessee ; 
My  master  used  to  wallop  me,  so  I  cut  my  stick  and  ran ; 
De  soldiers  dey  cotch  hold  ob  me  and  make  me  contraband. 

Chorus. 

Oh,  yes,  white  folks,  just  listen  unto  me — 
I'se  de  sauciest  little  nigger  ever  lived  in  Tennessee. 

If  I  was  de  President,  I'd  take  a  bold  position — 
I'd  play  de  very  deuce  wid  dat  nigger  abolition; 
I'd  make  Secession  hold  Its  jaw,  and  'mancipation  too, 
And  I'd  make  'em  cry  out  "  Union !"  as  Washington  used 
to  do. 

Oh,  yes,  white  folks,  etc.     ~N 

I  don't  like  to  see  folks  in  de  Norf  cut  such  foolish  figures, 
And  get  our  country  in  dis  fuss  all  about  de  niggers ; 
I  don't  like  abolitionists,  to  please  a  foolish  whim, 
Shove  poor  white  folks  out  of  work,  and  Dut  de  niggers  in. 
Oh,  yes,  white  folks,  etc. 


10  THE  NIGGER  MAY  APPLY. 

I  don't  like  to  see  some  folks,  when  they've1  been  here  lots 

of  years, 

When  de  country  wants  their  aid,  tremble  wid  their  fears. 
Dey  ought  to  shoulder  a  musket,  and  join  de  regiment, 
Instead  of  asking  help  from  de  British  government. 
Oh,  yes,  white  folks,  etc. 

I  would  like  to  see  de  white  folks  of  dis  great  and  glorious 

nation, 
And  leave  de  niggers  whar  dey  is,  down  on  de  old  plan- 

t  tation; 
And  shake  each  other  by  de  hand — and,  wid  deir  Ipud 

huzzas, 

Cry,  "Constitution  as  it  is,  and  Union  as  it  was!" 
Oh,  yes,  white  folks,  etc. 


THE  NIGGER  MAY  APPLY, 

"Written  and  sung  by  W.  8.  BITDWORTH. 

WHITE  folks,  your  attention,  and  I'll  do  my  best  to  please, 
And  sing  a  song  about  de  times,  while  you  all  take  your 

ease: 

And  while  I  am  a-singin',  I  don't  think  you'll  denj- 
That  for  a  seat  in  de  Senate-house  de  mokes  will  soon 

apply. 

So  fare  you  well,  my  honey  dear  I — I'll  see  you  by-and-by; 
I'm  goin'  to  be  a  general,  whar  de  niggers  do  apply.  ' 

We  don't  work  in  de  cotton^elds  nor  dig  potatoes  now, 
For  de  father  of  de  BJack  Brigade  is  kickin'  up  a  row ; 
He  is  editor  of  a  paper,  but  now  he's  keeping  shy  ; 
But  in  his  next  edition  you'll  see  that  niggers  may  apply. 
Don't  you  look  so  awful  dark — you  needn't  heave  a  sigh, 
For  Horace  says  things  are  all  right,  and  niggers  may 
apply. 

I  think  de  best  thing  mokes  can  do,  is  to  join  de  Black 

Brigade, 
And  go  to  fight  for  de  Tribune,  deir  colored  rights,  to  save : 


THE  CONTRABAND'S  ADVENTURES.  11 

But  if  dey  fail,  I'll  tell  you  what,  I  think  dey'd  better  fly, 

For,  when  de  war  is  over,  no  niggers  need  apply. 

But  I  think  I  am  all  right — if  I  only  mind  my  eye, 

I'll  get  command  of  de  Potomac  when  de  niggers  do  apply. 


THE  CONTRABAND'S  ADVENTURES. 
Sung  by  S.  S.  PUBDT. 

OH,  my  name  is  Darkey  Sam, 

I'se  a  black- eyed  contraband — 
Down  on  de  Chickahominy  I  was  born ;      , 

But  old  massa  run  away 

When  de  Linkum  sogers  play, 
So  I  started  for  do  Norf  in  de  morn. 

I  soon  met  wid  a  man, 

And  he  took  me  by  de  hand, 
And  brought  me  to  de  bobolition  meeting : 

Dere  de  broders  made  a  speech, 

And  de  sisters  'gan  to  preach  ; 
Dey  said  my  complexion  was  light, 

And  de  world  dey  would  teach 

What  a  point  dey  could  reach, 
And  show  dey  could  wash  a  nigger  white. 

Dey  got  me  very  soon, 

And  dey  put  me  in  a  room — 
Dis  nigger  couldn't  tell  what  dey  was  arter ; 

Dey  took  off  all  my  clothes, 

And  den  what  does  you  suppose  ? 
Dey  put  me  in  a  tub  of  boilin'  water ! 

And  den  dey  got  around, 

And  some  scrubbm'-brushes  found, 
And  said  dey'd  wash  me  whiter  dan  paper. 

Oh,  dey  got  me  in  a  tub, 

And  dey  all  began  to  scrub — 
I  tell  you  it  was  a  pretty  sight  I 

For  some  put  on  de  soap, 

And  de  oders  dey  did  rub, 
But  dey  found  dey  couldn't  wash  a  nigger  white. 


12  LOUY  NAP. 

De  next  ting  dey  done, 

For  to  make  de  color  run, 
Dey  began  to  rub  me  wid  sand-paper: 

Oh,  dey  nearly  killed  me  dead, 

But  dey  only  made  me  red — 
I  tell  you  I  cut  up  an  awful  caper ! 

Den  dey  whitewashed  me  so  slick, 
,  /But  de  lime  it  wouldn't  stick — 
I  golly,  I  was  just  as  black  as  ever ! 

Den  dey  got  a  lot  of  hay, 

And  dey  rubbed  and  scrubbed  away — 
'/Dh,  dey  kept  at  it  all  dat  night; 

And  den  dey  found,  next  day, 

Dat  de  job  it  wouldn't  pay, 
'Kase  dey  neber  could  wash  de  nigger  white. 

When  I  found  dat  dey  was  tired, 

Says  I,  "  Gemmen,  list  to  me, 
And  you  will  find  out  dat  I  am  right,  man ; 

De  nigger  will  be  nigger 

Till  de  day  ob  jubilee, 
For  he  neber  was  intended  for  a  white  man. 

Den  ju4t  skedaddle  home — 

Leave  de  colored  man  alone, 
For  you're  only  makin'  trouble  in  de  nation  : 

You  may  fight,  and  you  may  muss, 

You  may  make  a  iieap  of  fuss, 
But  you  neber  will  make  tings  right 

Until  you  all  agree 

For  to  let  de  nigger  be, 
For  you'll  neber,  neber,  neber  wash  him  white.'

And  nobly  we  have  welcomed  them 

"With  open  heart  and  hand. 
A  firm  alliance  is  our  plan— 

We'd  make  a  bully  pair, 
With  the  Yankee-doodle  Eagle 

And  the  rugged  Russian  Bear ! 

Rip  rap,  flip  flap,  etc.

Sung  by  S.  S.  PFEDT. 

I'll  just  from  old  K-y,  Ky, 
And  my  name  is  Ginger  Jim ; 

I  goes  in  for  de  Union, 

'Cause  dat  am  bound  to  win. 


14  4  GINGER  JIM'S  UNION  COCKADE. 

I  went  down  to  Uncle  Gabriel's 

Before  I  came  away, 
And  dese  am  just  de  very  words 

Dat  Uncle  G-abriel  did  say : 

Choms. 

"Shout,  boys,  shout,  and  don't  you  be  afraid 
To  sport  de  feathers  in  your  hat,  de  Union  cockade.' 

Dere's  trouble  in  de  country, 

And  war  throughout  de  land ; 
And  de  times  are  coming 

When  everybody's  got  to  show  his  hand. 
If  you  go  in  for  Secession, 

You  had  better  mind  your  eye, 
For  "Union"  am  de  word,  my  boys — 

It's  now  de  battle-cry. 

Shout,  boys,  etc. 

Dis  war  commenced  at  Sumter, 

And  dey  gib  de  Union  beans  ; 
But  soon  dey  had  de  Stars  and  Stripes 

To  wave  ober  New  Orleans ; 
For  since  de  fight  at  Pittsburg, 

It's  goin'  such  a  way, 
Dat  Union's  bound  to  win,  my  boys, 

No  matter  what  you  say. 

Shout,  boys,  etc. 

Dere's  a  bird  dey  call  de  eagle, 

And  soon  he'll  flap  his  wings, 
While  ober  Hail-Columbia  land 

Our  Union  chorus  rings; 
While  Norf  an'  Souf,  and  East  an'  West, 

Our  good  old  flag  shall  wave, 
And  de  thing  dey  call  Secession 

Will  be  buried  in  its  grave. 

Shout,  boys,  shout,  and  don't  you  be  afraid 

To  sport  de  feathers  in  your  hat,  de  Union  cockade.

Sung  by  S.  S.  PUEDT. 

OH,  listen  to  my  song,  and,  as  it  goes  along. 
I'll  tell  you  freely  what  I  think  'bout  what  is  right; 
And  if  you  like  my  lay,  why,  all  I've  got  to  say 
Is,  give  me  a  chance  to  speak  ray  mind  in  my  own  pecu- 
liar way. 

Chorus. 

For  I'm  bound  to  have  my  say, 
In  my  own  peculiar  way; 

And  whether  you  like  it,  or  whether  you  don't, 
Is  de  same  to  Hannibal  Wray. 

Oh,  I  have  to  wonder  why  de  white  folks  often  try 

By  hook  or  by  crook,  or  some  oder  way,  to  come  it  on  de 

sly;  _ 

But  it's  very  plain  to  me,  if  dey'd  let  us  darkeys  be, 
'Twould  be  better  for  both  of  us,  de  slave  as  well  as  de  free. 
For  I'm  bound,  etc. 

Now  down  in  "Washington  is  whar  de  trouble  begun, 
And  de  politicians  are  all  to  blame — yes,  ebery  mother's 

sou! — 

And  de  only  way  to  do  is  to  hire  another  crew, 
To  man  de  ropes  of  de  ship  of  state,  and  carry  her  safely 

through. 

For  I'm  bound,  etc.  • 

Oh,  I  long  to  gee  once  more  de  good  ole  days  of  yore, 
When  de  niggers  was  happy — de  white  folks  too — de  coun- 
try o'er  and  o'erl  * 
And  I  hope  it  soon  wih1  be  dat  do  white  folks  will  agree, 
And  de  smoke  of  de  war  will  blow  away — dat's  what's  de

For  I'm  bound  to  have  my  say, 
In  my  own  peculiar  way ; 

And  whethe*  you  like  it,  or  whether  you  don't,

I  is  away  from  ole  Virginny  State-r- 
De  best  in  all  de  nation : 
Oh,  oh,  oh,  I  is  Nicodemus  Johnson  I 

My  master  was  a  Union  man, 

And  didn't  like  Secession, 
And  so  he  had  to  leabe  de  ole  plantation  ; 

But  still  I  thought  to  stay  behind, 
x     It  would  be  an  aggravation — 

Oh,  oh,  oh — to  Nicodemus  Johnson ! 

1  wish  de  war  was  only  through, 
And  peace  in  all  de  nation ; 

I'd  quick  go  back  to  Dixie's  land,  and  stay  dere, 

'Cause  I  isn't  any  contraband, 
But  I  like  de  olo  plantation — 
Oh,  oh,  oh,  dat's  Nicodemus  Johnson! 


COME,  BOYS,  COME! 
"Written  and  sung  by  K  S.  BUDWORTH. 
COME,  all  you  gentle  white  folks,  and  listen  unto  me — 
I'll  sing  a  little  song  about  the  fashions  of  the  day; 
And  if  you  pay  attention  to  me  for  a  little  while 
I  will  sing 'you  something  which  I  know  is  in  your  style. 

Chorus. 

Come,  boys,  come,  and  go  along  with  me, 
And  we'll  go  down  to  "Washington  to  tight  for  victory. 

In  Seventeen  Hundred  and  Seventy-six,  there  was  a  brave 

hero — 
The  name  of  that  great  General  was  WASHINGTON,  you 

know; 


ZOUAVE  JOHNNY  FHOM  BULL  RUN. 

And  if  that  great  man  was  alive,  I  tell  you  you'd  see  fun, 
For  he  would  show  Jeff  Davis  that  he  could  take  Bull  Run. 
Come,  boys,  etc. 

If  the- papers  would  mind  their  business,  and  people  hold 

their  tongues, 
The  soldiers  down  at  that  great  fight  would  never  had  1 

They  thought  kat  Scott  was  long-winded,  and  that  he  was 

But  if  .old  Scott  had  been  left  alone,  Bull  Run  would  have 

been  all  right. 
,  Come,  boys,  etc/ 

The  Seventy-first  fought  well— the  Seventy-ninth  did  too ; 
The  Sixty-ninth  they  were  around,  and  the  Fourteenth 

wasn't  slow; 
But  the  gallant  New  York  Fire  Zouaves  shall  never 

For  they  wolloped  the  Blagk-Horse  Cavalry,  and  only  left 
six  of  the  lot. 

Come,  boys,  etc. 


ZOUAVE  JOHNNY  PEOM  BULL  BUN, 
Written  and  sung  by  "W.  8.  BDDWOBTH. 

COME  all  you  soldiers,  so  fearless  and  brave, 

Come  h>ten  to  my  ditty ; 
For  I  belong  to  the  Fire  Zouaves, 

That  started  from  New  Ydrk  city. 
We  left  our  families  and  all  our  friends — 

To  save  the  Union  I  shouldered  my  gun ; 
And  what  I  tell  you  I  know  is  so, 

For  I'm  Zouave  Johnny  from  Bull  Run. 

That  good  old  man,  brave  General  Scott, 

Has  retired  from  the  army ; 
And  General  McClellan  then  took  his  place. 

Although  the  times-  looked  stormy.

But  since  that  time  he  has  been  removed, 
Though  many  a  victory  he  has  won ; 

And  what  I  tell  you  I  know  is  so, 

For -I'm  Zouave  Johnny  from  Bull  Run. 

General  Meade  is  a  very  good  man, 

And  all  his  soldiers  say  so ; 
For  he  fought  very  hard  at  Gettysburg — 

He  wolloped  the  rebels,  that  you  know. 
Three  cheers  for  our  glorious  Stars  a*d  Stripe^, 

Three  cheers  for  General  Grant,  Ohio's  son! 
And  what  I  tell  you  I  know  is  so, 

For  I'm  Zouave  Johnny  from  Bull  Run. 


THE  LOWER  TEN  THOUSAND. 
Written  and  sung  by  W.  S.  BUDWORTU. 

I'LL  sing  you  a  song  about  the  times, 

And  about  the  money  too, 
And  how  it  am  divided 
v  Between  me  and  you. 
The  upper  "  Ten  Thousand" 

Have  got  money  for  to  rent, 
But  the  lower  "  Ten  Thousand" 

They  haven't  got  a  cent. 
Chorus — I  tell  you  it  isn't  fair, 

Between  me  and  you, 
For  the  rich  to  have  the  money, 
For  the  poor  want  it  too. 

The  upper  Ten  Thousand 

Go  to  balls,  and  parties  beside — 
They  drink  their  champagne, 

And.  call  for  oysters  fried ; 
But  the  lower  Ten  Thousand 

Go  to^jigs  and  raffles  toe — 
They  drink  their  tea  and  coffee, 

And  have  a  codfish-stew. 

,          I  tell  you,  etc. 


POMPEY   SNOW'S   PHILOSOPHY.  19 

The  upper  Ten  Thousand 

Go  to  the  "Academy"  to  see  a  show ; 
They  pay  two  dollars  for  a  seat — 

Now  I  tell  you  that  is  so  1 
But  the  lower  Ten  Thousand 

Can  teach  them  all  a  lesson — 
They  spend  two  shillings — go  to  Hooley's, 

And  split  their  sides  a-laughing ! 

I  tell  you,  etc. 

The  upper  Ten  Thousand 

Ride  in  carriages  very  fine ; 
Sometimes  on  horseback, 

'  And  then  they  cut  a  shine ! 
But  the  lower  Ten  Thousand 

They  take  it  very  cool ; 
If  they  can't  ride  a-horseback, 
They  go  it  on  a  mule ! 

I  tell  you,  etc. 


POMPEY  SNOW'S  PHILOSOPHY, 
Sung  by  S.  S.  PCTEDY. 

I'M  a  gay  little  nigger.  I'd  hab  you  all  to  know, 

I  came  from  Alabama,  just  five  years  ago ; 

I  used  to  pick  de  cotton,  and  de  sugar-cane  did  hoe — 

I'm  a  bully  essence  nigger,  and  my  name  is  Pompey  Snow. 

Chorus. 
Ho,  ho,  boys !  dis  am  a  gallus  show ! 

I'll  sing  and  dance  for  volunteers, 
Who  to  de  fight  will  go — 
Dat's  de  philosophy  of  young  Pompey  Snow. 

Dere  isn't  any  question  but  de  Souf  got  up  dis  muss, " 
And,  in  spite  of  all  de  Norf,  dey  am  bound  to  have  a  fuss. 
Dey  fight  well  on  both  sides,  for  de  American  blood  am 

game, 

And  I  think  tbe  Abolitionists  am  very  much  to4)lame. 
Ho,  ho,  boys,  etc. 


SKEDADDLERS.  * 

To  think  of  dis  war  it  am  a  bery  painful  question — 
I'd  send  all  de  Abolitionists  into  de  Atlantic  Ocean ! 
Send  de  darkeys  back  to  Africa,  just  where  dey  ought  to 

go, 

And  skedaddle  all  de  rebels  into  de  Oulf  of  Mexico ! 
Ho,  ho,  boys,  etc.

A  poor  ole  nigger  he  did  roam ; 
But  now  he  has  skedaddled, 
And  gone  away  from  home.

It's  just  what  I  expected: 
A  great  many  more  besides  old  Squash 
Have  gone  away  from  home. 

Cfwrus. 

Now,  white  folks,  listen  unto  me, 
For  I  will  not  detain  you  long ;

And  prove  it  in  my  song. 

Oh,  my!  de  drafs  in  dis  'ere  nation 
Has  caused  a  great  sensation, 
And  many  dey  leave  deir  stores

And  went  straight  o'er  to  Canada, 
For  fear  in  deir  hearts  dat  America 
Would  require  deir  services  to  protect

THE  CONTRABAND'S  LAMENT, 
Sung  by  S.  S.  PTJRDY. 

I  JUST  come  from  de  Souf  to  St.  Louis  to- day, 
Whar  a  nigger,  dey  tell  me,  can  just  "have  his  own  way; 
I  don't  stop  at  de  Planter's  House,  but  a  much  better  place, 
"Whar  de  people  dey  all  seem  quite  enchanted  wid  my  face ; 
And  de  ladies,  in  particular,  say  I'm  Cupid,  don't  you  see  ? 
And  de  white  folks  of  St.  Louis  am  quite  struck  after  me. 

I  really  begins  to  think  dat  I've  got  a  handsome  face, 
And  dis  form  it  is  possessed  of  symmetry  and  grace : 
Dere  are  niggers  from  de  West  and  dere  are  niggers  from 

de  Souf, 

And  you  all  know  a  nigger's  got  a  bery  little  mouf ! 
But  dere's  one  thing  I  observe  in  particular  wid  me — 
Dat  de  white  folks  of  St.  Louis  am  quite  struck  after  me. 

But  dis  gay  and  easy  life  is  not  suitable  for  me, 
For  I  was  raised  a  nigger,  and  a  nigger  still  must  be ; 
So,  white  folks,  let  me  tell  you,  before  I  do  depart, 
Don't  let  de  cause  of  niggers  so  encircle  round  your  heart : 
We  are  ever  four  millions  now  in  numbers,  don't  you  see  ? 
And  what  could  you  do  wid  all  of  us,  if  we  were  all  set 
free?

I  will  back  George  McClellan,

Also  dem  British  subjects,

And  politics  be  laid  aside 

At  Liberty's  command.

ARCHY  AT  THE  SANITARY  FAIR, 
Sung  by  ABCHY  HUGHES. 

Two  weeks  ago  I  left  Vermont, 

To  come  to  this  big  town, 
Where  the  Sanitary  Fab 

Is  doing  things  up  brown ; 
I  arrived  in  Brooklyn  one  fine  morn, 

And  soon  put  on  my  best — 
And  round  to  the  Academy  I  went, 

As  a  member  of  the  press. 

Chorus — Then  come,  darkeys  all, 

Unto  these  sights  so  rare, 
For  Archy  now  is  all  the  go, 

Since  he's  been  to  the  Sanitary  Fair. 


SAMBO'S  OPINION.  26 

I  mingled  with  the  quality, 

And  felt  myself  so  proud; 
But  a  cry  soon  stopped  my  jollity — 

"There's  Archy  in  the  crowd!" 
Ward  Beecher  took  me  by  the  arm, 

And  spoke  in  gentle  tones, 
To  condescend  and  please  the  "  Heights" 

With  a  solo  on  the  bones. 

Then  come,  darkeys,  etc. 

I  spread  myself  upon  the  stage 

Without  much  hesitation ; 
Since  racihg  soon  will  be  the  rage* 

I  played  "  The  InVitation." 
The  New  York  Club  soon  made  their  bets,| 

I  hadn't  much  to  say ; 
The  odds  were  on  the  bob-tailed  nag, 

For  nowhere  was  the  bay. 

Then  come,  darkeys,'  etc. 

I  left  the  Academy  that  night, 

And  packed  my  trunk  in  haste, 
And  started  off  to  Washington, 

For  Gideon  Welles's  race. 
Say^I  to  him,  " Old  boy,  wake  up! — 

For  racing  do  not  clamor ; 
But  send  your  fast  boat  Eutaw  out, 

And  patch  the  Alabama." 

Then  come,  darkeys,  etc.

26  SAMBO'S  OPINION. 

My  name  am  Sambo  Quash, 

I'm  a  confiscated  moke  ; 
So,  white  folks,  don't  get  mad 

At  what  I'm  goin'  to  spoke. 

Chorus.  \ 

Den,  white  folks,  listen  to  me — 
It  am  de  truth  I  tell  you  now ; 
Jump  up,  tumble  up,  git  up  and  gitl 

In  dese  times,  de  Bobolitionists  say, 

Dat  niggers  hab  got  a  right, 
And  a  darkey  ob  de  present  day 

Is  just  as  good  as  white. 
But  I  think  dat  is  a  lie, 

From  de  simple  fac', 
If  a  nigger  was  as  good  as  white, 

He  wouldn't  be  painted  black. 

Den,  white  folks,  etc. 

Some  say  de  niggers  shall  be  slaves, 

Some  say  doy  shall  be  free ; 
I'd  like  to  know  what  difference 

All  dis  trouble  makes  to  me ! 
Freedom  may  be  well  enough, 

Likewise  emancipation ; 
But  I  guess  I'se  bettor  off 

Down  on  de  old  plantation.  » 

Don,  white  folks,  etc. 

I  see  in  (le  papers,  de  oder  day, 

To  make  de  army  bigger, 
Dat  Congress  dey  had  made  a  law 

To  go  and  draft  de  nigger. 
De  darkey  can  pick  de  cotton, 

To  dem  dat  is  but  fun ; 
But  when  dey'll  smell  de  bullets, 

I  golly,  how  dey'll  run !  ,

"With  pain  my  aching  heart  does  swell, 

For  my  affection — for  my  affection,  none  can  tell.

Your  voice  am  like  do  owl  dat  sings — 
You  lubly  Cupid,  you  lubly  Cupi^  widout  winjrs.

GET  BACK! 
Sung  by  S.  S.  PTTEDT. 

Now,  white  folks,  your  attention,  ' 

For  I'm  goin'  to  sing  to  you ; 
My  song  it  is  not  very  long, 
But  every  word  am  true. 
Dey  expect  to  hear  of  victory  t 

Since  dey  relieved  our  Mac ; 
But  before  do  war  is  over, 

Dey  will  say  to  him,  "  Get  back !" 

("Repeat  the  last  two  linos  of  each  stanza.) 
Chows— Get  back,  get  back, 

Take  it  with  a  whack ! 

Now,  dere  is  General  Burnside, 

Commanding,  I  believe ; 
And  de  next  thing  dat  we  hear  of  him, 

Why,  Burnside  he  is  relieved. 
Dey  say  he  is  a  fighter, 

And  can  whip  them  with  a  whack ; 
And  as  soon  as  he  has  done  dat, 

Dey  will  say  to  him,  "Get  back!" 

Get  back,  etc. 

Now,  I've  been  on  to  "Washington, 

To  make  a  proposition ; 
To  go  in  for  de  Union 

Ain't  nigger  abolition. 
Put  de  contrabands  on  board  de  ship, 

And  start  dem  on  de  track; 
You  will  think  dey  go  to  Hayti, 

But  dey  will  every  one  "get  back!" 
Get  back,  etc. 

And  now,  kind  friends,  you've  heard  my  song, 
And  I  hope  it's  pleased  you  well. 

I  wish  de  war  was  over. 

And  de  Abolitionists  in — vou  know  what  I 


THAT'S  WHAT'S  THE  MATTE  u.  31 

I  would  like  to  sing  de  oder  verse, 

But  my  mind  am  gettin'  slack; 
But  if  you  want  to  hear  it, 

Just  wait  till  I  get  back  ! 

Get  back,  etc. 

So  here  is  to  our  great  country. 

And  our  great  country's  son; 
His  name  I  love  to  mention — 

General  GEORGE  WASHINGTON! 
Our  eagle  and  our  flag,  my  boys, 

Is  my  motto,  dat's  a  fac' ; 
For  he  spreads  his  wings  and  soars  so  hign, 

And  makes  John  Bull  get  back ! 

Get  back,  etc. 


THAT'S  WHAT'S  THE  MATTEE. 
Written  and  sung  by  TV.  S.  BTTDWOBTH. 

THESE  are  exciting  times,  and  that  you  all  do  know — 
Our,,  flag  has  been  insulted  and  trod  on  by  the  foe ; 
But  they  had  better  all  njind  their  eye, 

Or  we'll  make  the  rebels  scatter, 
And  drive  them  all  into  the  sea — 
That's  what's  the  matter. 
Chorus. 

Take  up.  your  musket,  and  go  along  with  me ; 
Take  up  your  musket,  and  go  along  with  me! 
Shoulder  up  your  musket,  and  we'll  make  the  rebels  scat- 
ter! 
I'm  for^the  Union— that's  what's  the  matter. 

England's  got  too  much  to  say  about  our  civil  war — 
She  had  better  keep,  her  tongue  still,  before  she  goes  to 

war; 
For  we  have  whipped  her  twice  already. 

And  we  beat  her  at  regatta  ; 
And  we  can  whip  her  once  more — 
That's  what's  the  matter. 


32  POLICY  JOE. 

France  is  keeping  neutral,  to  see  what  will  be  done ; 
If  Johnny  gets  in  a  muss,  I  golly,  you'll  see  fun  1 
For  with  privateers  we'll  swarm  the  seas, 

His  commerce  we  will  scatter ; 
And  Napoleon  will  help  us — 
That's  what's  the  matter. 


POLICY  JOE. 
"  Written  and  sung  by  "W.  S.  BUDWORTH. 

I'LL  sing  you  a  song  of  a  nice  young  man, 

His  name  was  Policy  Joe ; 
His  father  was  a  rag-merchant, 

Over  in  Policy  Row. 
Joe  travelled  on  his  muscle, 

And  sold  rags  by  the  pound ; 
And  whenever  he  made  a  hit, 

He  made  the  policy  sound. 

But  when  this  cruel  war  came  on, 

The  old  man  had  to  "bust;" 
And  Joe  had  spent  his  last  cent. 

Playing  for  forty-first. 
Says  he,  "Bea  "Wood  and  policy 

Have  got  the  best  of  me ; 
So  I'll  go  and  jump  a  bounty, 

And  have  a  little  spree." 

Joe  went  and  put  his  name  down, 
And  got  three  hundred  "  slums," 

And  then  skedaddled  and  ran  away — 
-  Says  he,  "  I'll  have  some  fun." 

So  Joe  went  into  business, 
And  opened  a  big  gin-mill; 

But  he  "busted"  all  up  in  a  week, 

For  the  bar-kseper  ran  off  with  the  till ! 

Next  day  Joe  picked  up  a  countryman, 
And  lived  on  him  a  while, 


THE  BLACK  BRIGADE.  33 

But  got  to  playing  policy  again, 

And  lost  the  last  of  his  pile. 
So  now  poor  Joe  was  dead  broke, 

And  wanted  another  start; 
So  a  fellow  gave  him  a  situation 

As  clerk  of  a  city  ash-cart. 


THE  BLACK  BRIGADE, 

Written  and  sung  by  W.  S.  BUD  WORTH. 

UNCLE  ABRAHAM  he  wants  us  now, 

And  we  must  march  along; 
And  I  tell  you  what  it  is",  my  boy, 

"We  will  muster  mighty  strong. 
Then  fare  you  well,  my  honey  dear, 

I  don't  want  you  to  be  afraid; 
In  three  months  your  lov-u-er 

Will  be»a  captain  in  de  Black  Brigade. 

Chorus — In  three  months,  etc. 

And  when  we  meet  de  enemy, 

I'll  bet  we'll  make  them  stare, 
For  I  know  dey'll  catch  de  very  debil 

When  dey  meet  our  woolly  hair. 
We'll  fight  for  de  Constitution, 

And  wid  greeflbacks  we'll  be  paid ; 
So  come,  you  mokes,  and  fill  de  ranks — 

Come  and  join  de  Black  Brigade ! 

In  three  months,  etc. 

In  de  days  ob  General  Washington, 
You  know  we  fought  de  British  well, 

Behind  de  bales  of  "  hickory  ;" 
I  tell  you  we  made  dem  red-coats  yell ! 

For  we  are  de  boys  who  know  how  to  light, 
So  come  along,  don't  be  afraid ; 

For  Horace  Greeley — you  know  him  well- 
Is  de  General  ob  dis  Black  Brigade ! 

In  three  months,  etc.

Sung  by  J.  T.  BOYOE. 

On,  my  name  is  Pompey  Moore,  • 

I'se  from  ole  Virginny  shore, 

And  I  never  had  any  education  ; 
Except  now  and  den  a  lickin' 
Down  at  de  cotton-pickin', 

'Way  down  on  de  ole  plantation. 
But  just  list  to  me, 
And  you  will  plainly  see 

Pat  I  have  got  some  knowledge ; 
^  Though  I  isn't?  any  fool, 
And  I  never  w6nt  to  school, 

Nor  passed  into  any  oder  college. 

Choriis. 
But  just  list  to  me,  and  you  will  plainly  see,  etc. 

Now  you  see  it's  bery  plain, 
Dere  was  ole  Massa«Cain 

Killed  his  broder  'kase  he  was  bigger: 
When  he  see  what  he  had  done, 
He  tried  to  cut  and  run, 

But  was  turned,  in  a  crack,  to  a  nigger. 
Now  it's  often  asked  j^  some, 
Whar  de  niggers  dey  come  from — 

But  dis  is  my  calculation : 
For  'tis  easy  to  explain 
Dat  ole  Massa  Cain 

Was  de  daddy  ob  de  nigger  population. 

But  just  list  to  me,  etc. 

It's  been  de  way  wid  some, 
Eber  since  dis  world  begun, 
'    '      To  bother  deir  heads  about  de  nigger; 
First  Bobolition  comes  to  view, 
And  den  Secession  too, 
And  dis  fight  is  all  about  de  nigger. 


OL'R   UNION   GENERALS.  35 

You  may  talk  and  you  may  write, 
You  may  work  and  you  may  fight, 

But  what  good  does  eber  arise? 
You  may  paint  and  you  may  rub, 
You  may  wash  and  you  may  scrub, 

But  a'nigger  is  a  nigger  till  he  dies ! 

But  just  list  to  me,  e*c. 

Now,  white  folks,  in  a  trice, 
I'll  gib  you  some  advice — 

Don't  get  mad  because  it  comes  from  a  moke : 
Let  de  Norf  and  de  Souf 
Both  shut  up  deir  mouf, 

And  den  you  will  hit  de  right  stroke. 
Let  Abolition  die, 
And  Secession  keep  shy, 
»    And  de  Norf  and  de  Souf  shake  hands ; 
And  now,  white  folks,  hear  me, 
Just  leave  de  nigger  be, 

For  I  tell  you  dey  isn't  worth  a  cent. 

But  just  list  to  me,  etc.

So  give  me  your  attention  ; 
J  know  I'll  not  detain  you  long 

"With  what  I'm  goin^  to  mention  : 
So,  if  you  listen  unto  me, 

It  is  my  calculation 
To  sing  about  the  G-enerals 

Who  are  fighting  for  our  nation. 

Chorus. 
While  we  sing  the  Generals 

Who  win  a  nation's  thanks,  sir,  . 
We'll  not  forget  the  volunteers 
Who  are  fighting  hi  the  ranks,  sir. 


36  OUR   UNION   GENERALS. 

There  is  General  Eosecrans, 

He  is  a  soldier  thorough — 
He  boldly  met  and  beat  the  foe 

'Way  down  at  Murfreesboro. 
The  rebels  tried  to  put  him  down, 

Not  liking  his  intrusion ; 
But  when  he  got  to  work,  they  soon 

Skedaddled  in  'confusion. 

While  we  sing,  etc. 

There  is  General  Butler,  too, 

He  proved  he  wasn't  green,  sir ; 
He  quickly  settled  things  to  rights 

'Way  down  at  New  Orleans,  sir. 
Though  traitors  raved,  and  vowed  revenge, 

And  swore  to  give  him  thunder, 
He  ruled  them  with  an  iron  hand,  * 

And  quickly  put  them  under. 

While  we  sing,  etc. 

There  is  General  Sigel,  too, 

He  is  one  of  the  best,  sir ; 
The  rebels  don't  admire  him  much — 

They  met  him  in  the  "V\^st,  sir  I 
And  though  they  many  a  plan  have  laid, 

And  tried  him  to  inveigle, 
The  little  Dutchman's  wide  awake — 

A  hunkey  boy  is  Sigel. 

While  we  sing,  etc. 

There's  General  "ftiomas  Francis  Meagher 

A  lasting  fame  has  made,  sir ; 
In  Freedom's  cause  he  nobly  led 

His  Irish  bold  brigade,  sir. 
And  Corcoran,  too,  is  in  the  field. 

His  name  shall  live  in  story;  4 

He'll  lead  his  Irish  Legion  on 

To  victory  and  glory. 

While  we  sing,  etc. 


CHARCOAL  PHILOSOPHY.  37 

There's  Generals  Halleck,  Banks,  and  Dtz, 

And  Hooker  too  besides,  sir ; 
And  one  who  always  did  his  best, 

Brave  General  Burnside,  sir. 
But,  best  of  all,  I'll  name  you  one 

To  finish  this  rebellion ; 
He's  just  the  man  that's  wanted  back — 

The  gallant  young  McClellan.

For  things  dat  take  place  on  de  sly. 
And  it's  often  I  say         > 
To  myself,'  on  de  way — 

"What  de  debil  can  some  white  folks  mean,, 
To  take  so  much  pains 
To  bother  deir  brains 

'Bout  de  nigger  dat  don't  care  a  pin  ?"

Now  dere's  some  dat  pretends 
Dey's  de  nigger's  best  friends, 

Like  Greeley  and  Beecher  out  dar; 
But  I  never  could  see 
How  dat,  after  we's  free, 

We's  a-gwine  to  hab  any  less  care; 
For  it  seems  very  plain 
We  shall  want  just  de  same,  \

OH,  I-'should  like  to  change  my  name,

I'm  sick  and  tired  of  hearing  it  called 

The  whole  of  the  long  day  through. 
Mrst  the  old  man,  the  boys,  the  girls, 

The  old  woman  she  screams  too; 
I'm  bothered  to  death  from  morn  till  night — 

Oh,  dear,  what  shall  I  do  ? 

Chorus — For  it's  'Siah,  'Siah,  Josiah,  ma'am! 

Oh,  dear,  what  shall  I  do  ? 
Make  haste,  and  get  your  work  all  done, 
Or  the  time  you'll  dearly  rue.

Saw.  wood,  split  wood,  fetch  water ! 
It's  'Siah  here,  and  'Siah  there, 

From  father,  mother,  and  daughter. 
I've  stood  their  drudging  long  enough,

THE  MUD-JEWELLER'S  CLEEK.       . 
Sung  by  J.  T.  BOYOE. 

MY  father  was  raised  as  a  clark  in  Hoboken, 

The  man  that  he  clarked  for  was  named  Mr.  Dodd; 
And  among  all  the  clarks  there  was  none  like  my  father — 

For  ke  was  the  clark,  sure,  that  carried  the  hod ! 
One  day,  as  he  was  climbing  right  up  a  steep  ladder, 

With  bricks  in  his  hod  and  a  brick  in  his  hat, 
And  just  as  he  lifted  his  foot  for  a  second, 

A  rung  it  gave  way,  and  he  came  down  ker-slap ! 

Chorus — Whack,  fol  de  row  de  dow,  etc. 

They  sent  for  a  coroner,  then  for  a  doctor — 

The  latter  was  late,  but  the  former  was  not; 
A  jury  was  held,  arid  a  verdict  was  given : 

The  cause  of  his  death  was  drinking  his  whiskey  too  hot. 
So  there  I  was  left  a  nate  little  orphan, 

Without  any  clothes  and  without  ary  tint, 
Surrounded  by  those  whose  intentions  were  only 

To  stick  to  my  back  till  rny  money  waif  spint. 

Whack,  fol  de  row,  etc. 


40  DAT'S  MY  PHILOSOPHY. 

'Twas  lucky  I  had  such  a  nate  education, 

By  raising  and  making  up  fires  for  a  school ; 
I  could  write  with  much  taste,  and  speak  Greek  like  a 
1  Hebrew—" 

So  I  was- told  by  one  Teddy  O'Toole. 
So  what  does  J  do,  but  I  starts  a  newspaper, 

And  called  it  the  "Irishman's  Morning  Gazette;" 
I  got  my  paper  and  printing  on  credit, 

And  spoke  well  of  my  paper  to  all  that  I  met. 

Whack,  fol  de  row,  etc. 


DAT'S  MY  PHILOSOPHY, 
As  sung  by  J.  T.  BOYOE. 

OH,  here  I  am  again  1 

How  are  you,  gentlemen  ?  * 

Come  listen  unto  me : 
I  will  tell  you  in  my  song 
Things  that  I  do  like  and 

Don't  like  to  see. 

Chorus — Oh,  I  would  like"  to  see 

De  white  folks  make  deir  quarrels  up, 

And  let  de  niggers  be; 
For  it's  slave  or  free, 
A  nigger  will  be  nigger — 

Dat's  my  philosophy. 

Oh,  I  don't  like  to  see  i 

Dis  great  country 

Broke  ifp  wid  party  strife ; 
But- 1  would  like  to  see  / 

De  white  folks  friends  on  equal  terms, 

And  not  seek  each  Oder's  life.  , 

Oh,  I  would  like,  etc. 

Oh,  I  don't  like  to  see 
Good  men  and  true 

Contending  in  deir  might ; 


WHO   CAN   FIND   US   NOW?  41 

But  I  would  like  to  see 
Such  men  as  Beecher,  Hall,  and  Greeley, 
Shoved  foremost  into.dis  fight. 

Oh,  I  would  like,  etc.

SONG-  OP  BOOKS, 
Written  and  sung  by  "W.  S.  BUDWORTH. 

OH,  if  you  want  to  buy  some  books, 

To  pass  away  the  time,  '    ^ 

Go  over  to  Fulton  Market, 

And  the  "  Forty  Thieves"  you'll  find ; 
Or,  if  that  don't  suit  you, 

Try  "Jack  Sheppard  and  his  Pals  ;" 
Or  anothe'r  one — the  name  of  it 

Is,  u  The  Pretty  Waiter-Gals." 
—The  "Forty  Thieves"  and  "John  G.  Heenan," 
With  "The  Pretty  Waiter-Gals;" 

"Jeff  Davis"  and  "Uncle  Abraham," 
With  "  Jack  Sheppard  anti  his  Pals." 


TOPSEY'S  DOCTRINE. 

There's  the  "Life  of  Jeff  Davis"— 

You  can  buy  that  very  cheap ; 
And  the  "  Jokes  by  Uncle  Abraham" 

Are  very  hard  to  beat : 
And  song-books  by  the  thousand, 

If  you  feel  inclined  to  sing ; 
And  the  "Life  of  John  C.  Heenan," 

Who  fought  the  British  King. 

The  "  Forty  Thieves,"  etc. 

Then  there  is  "Little  Mac's  Report"— 

About  this  war  it  reads, 
And  tells  you  of  our  soldiers, 

And  the  patriotic  deeds 
Performed  by  McClellan 

And  his  gallant  Union  band, 
"Who  made  the  rebels  "  git" 
'   At  the  battle  of  Antietam. 

The  "  Forty  Thieves,"  etc. 


TOPSEY'S  DOCTRINE, 
/          Sang  by  J.  T.  BOYCE. 

OH,  I  is  the  gal' for  dancing  jigs, 
And  cutting  up  all  sorts  of  rigs ; 
But  still  I  know  how  to  behave, 
Although  I'm  nothin'  but  a  slave : 
But  I  think  you'll  all  agree 
I'se  better  off  a  slave  than  free. 
About  hard  times  I  never  think,          . 
Because  I  is  always  lots  to  eat  and  drink. 

Chorus. 

Dem  Abolitionists,  dat  rave 
About  de  freedom  of  de  slave, 
Had  better  let  us  all  alone, 
Ana  mind  cleir  poor  white  folks  at  home. 


44  JOHNNY    SCHMOKER. 

A  poor  white  gal  may  work  and  sweat, 
Get  out  of  health  and  into  debt — 
And  if  her  bills  she  cannot  meet, 
May  starve  to  death  or  walk  de  street: 
But  look  at  me !  when  day's  work's  doae,  , 
I  think  of  nothin'  else  but  fun ; 
And  if  at  work  I  'am  too  ill, 
Why,  massa  pays  de  doctor's  bill. 

Dem  Abolitionists,  etc. 

Dey  say,  "How  happy  slaves  would  be, 
If  dey  only  were  made  free  !'; 
.  But  I  cannot  quite  exactly  see 
What  I  should  gain  by  liberty; 
For  I  am  worth,  just  as  I  stand, 
A  thousand  dollars  cash  in  hand! 
So  as  a  slave  I'll  be  content, 
'Cause  free  niggers  isn't  worth  a  cent. 

Dem  Abolitionists,  etc.

GYPSY  DAVY. 
Sung  by  ARCIIT  HUGHES. 

THERE  was  a  lord,  a  high-born  lord, 

Who  courted  a  high-born  lady; 
She  lived  in  a  palace  all  so  grand, 

TiU  she  met  with,  the  Gypsy  Davy. 

Chorus. 
Elopements  now  are  all  the  go, 

They  set  the  darkeys  crazy; 
Take  warning  all,  both  great  and  small, 

And  beware  of  the  Gypsy  Davy !    * 

This  lord  he  was  a  fine  young  man, 

And  he  set  this  lady  crazy ;  , 
So  she  packed  up  her  duds,  and  away -she  ran 

Along  with  the  Gypsy  Davy. 

Elopements  now,  etc. 

Her  parients  raved,  and  tore  their  hair, 

When  they  come  for  to  miss  That  'ere  baby; 

And  then  to  think  of  that  sweet-born  baby, 
None  knew  but  the  Gypsy  Davy ! 

Elopements  now,  etc. 


G0ING  BOUND  THE  HORN.  4t 

Oh,  how  could  she  leave  her  house  and  land  ? 

Oh,  how  could  she  leave  her  baby  ? 
Oh,  how  could  she  leave  her  own  wedded  hand, 

To  run  off  with  the  Gypsy  Davy  ? 

Elopements  now,  etc. 

Last  night  she  lay  in  a  dear  feather  bed, 

And  in  her  arms  her  baby; 
To-night  she'll  lay  on  the  cold,  cold  ground, 

In  the  arms  of  the  Gypsy  Davy ! 

Elopements  now,  etc. 


GOING  ROUND  THE  HOEN, 
Sung  by  AECHT  HUGHES. 

SUCH. a  going  round  the  Horn,  and  catching  of  a  cold, 
And  a-sitting  on  the  bench  with  the  white  folks ; 

Such  a  going  to  Californy,  and  digging  out  the  gold, 
"Where  the  niggers  get  as  much  as  the  white  folks ! 

Chorus. 
To  the  land,  to  the  land,  to  the  land,  to  the  land, 

Oh  ho,  oh  ho ! 

Then  meet  me  in  four  year — I  never  shall  forget — 
F.or  I"  am  off  for  Californy,  right  away ! 

Such  a  pulling  out  the  snags  out  the  Mississippi  River — 
Oh,  golly,  'twas  enough  to  make  a  nigger  shiver ! 
With  the  Natchez  bluff  so  high,  shoal  wJter  was  so  thin, 
There  wasn't  hardly  room  for  a  colored  man  to  swim. 

To  the  land,  eta 

Oh,  get  down  to  New  Orleans  1 — I  look  all  around, 

I- see  my  lovely  Sally,. and  fall  on  the  ground; 

She  ax  me,  "What's  the  matter?"  and  I  told  all  the  tale — 

I  was  off  to  Californy  the  day  the  vessel  sailed. 

To  the  land,  etc. 


48  THE   GROCERY-MERCHANT. 

MICK-A-VICK. 
Sung  by  J.  T.  BOYCE. 

YOUTH  and  folly  make  young  men  marry — 
Then  good-by,  Biddy  darling.  I'm  going  away; 

What  can't  be  cured  must  be  endured ; 
Then  fare  you  well,  love — I'm  going  away! 

Chorus. 

"What  can't  be  cured,  must  be  endured; 
So  fare  you  well,  I'm  going  away. 

She  cried  and  sighed  so  when  we  parted,         ^ 
I  said,  "Biddy  darling,  dry  up  your  tears  away." 

"  0  Mick-a-Vick,  I  am  broken-hearted 
To  think  you're  going  far  across  the  deep-blue  sea  1" 
What  can't  be  cured,  etc. 

She  was  a  darling  neat  young  creature — 

And,  turning  round,  these,  words  she  said  to  me : 
"  Oh,  your  purty  red  hair,  Mick-a-Yick,  did  my  heart  e 

snare,  Mick, 
And  your  gimlet-eyes  bored  a  hole  through  me  I" 

What  can't  be  cured,  etc. 


THE  GROCERY-MEBCHAtfT, 

0  Sung  by  S.  S.  PJJRDY. 

0  WHITE  folks,  attend  unto  me, 

And  listen  to  my  ditty ; 
It's  all  about  a  grocery-man, 

So  handsome,  gay,  and  witty. 
He  was  different  from  all  mer-chi-ants 

That  liveti  in  days  of  yore — 
Provisions  they  were  plenty  tho_i 

In  his  little  grocery-store. 


GRAFTED  INTO  THE  ARMY.

Clwrus. 
Then  mind  your  eye,  0  ladies  all, 

Take-my  advice,  oh  do; 
And  watch  this  cunning  grocery-man 
\  On;  Franklin  Avenue  1 

This  grocery-man  was  so  polite, 

As  most  of  merchants  are,  ^ 
His  store  was  always  crowd-i-ed 

With  ladies  young  and  fair. 
It  happened  that  a  dam-su-el  y 

In  love  fell  sick  and  sore 
"With  this  young  grocery-mer-chi-ant 

And  his  little  grocery-store. 

(Then  mind  your  eye,  etc. 

Charles  Augustus,  in  return,  loved  her 

With  all  his  might  and  mam, 
And  swore  that  none  should  separate  him 

From  his  sweet  Susan  Jane  1 
And  Susan  Jane  she'also  swore 

She'd  prove  both  kind  and  true, 
And  that  no  butcher's  cleav-i-er 
.     Should  cut  their  love  in  two  1 

Then  mind  your  eye,  etc. 


GRAFTED  INTO  THE  AEMT. 
$ung  by  ARCHY  HUGHES.    3 

OUR  Jimmy  has  gone  for  to  live  in  a  tent, 

They  have  grafted  him  into  the  army; 
He  finally  puckered  up  courage  and  went, 
When  they  grafted  him  into  the  army. 
I  told  them  the  -child  was  top  young,  alas  I 
At  the  captain  s  fore-quarters  they  say  he  would  pass, 
They'd  train  him  up  well  in  the  infantry  class- 
So,  they  grafted  him  into  the  army.

50  THE  LEARKED  MAN. 

Chorus. 

0  Jimmy,  farewell !  your  brothers  fell 
'Way  down  in  Alabamy ; 

1  thought  they  would  spare  a  lone  widder's  heir, 
But  they  grafted  him  into  the  army. 

Dressed  up  in  his  unicorn,  dear  little  chap  I 

"They  have  grafted  him  into  the  army ; 
It  seems  but  a  day  since  he  sat  in  my  lap, 
,    f     But  they  grafted  him  into  the  army. 

And  these  are  the  trousejs  he  used  to  wear —   . 
Them  very  same  buttons,  the  patch,  and  the  tear ; 
But  Uncle  Sam  gave  him  a  bran-new  pair 
When  they  grafted  him  into  the  army. 

0  Jimmy,  farewell,  etc. 

Now  in  my  provisions  I  see  him  revealed — 

They  have  grafted  him  into  the  army ; 
A  picket  beside  the  contented  field, 
'     They  have  grafted  him  into  the  army. 
He' looks  kinder  sifckish — begins  to  cry — 
A  big  volun-teer  standing  right  in  his  eye : 
Oh,  what  if  the  ducky  should  up  and  die, 
Now  they've  grafted  him  into  the  army  ? 

0  Jimmy,  farewell,  etc. 


THE  LEARNED  MAN,       T 
Sung  by  G.  W.  GRIFFIN. 

OH,  since  the  days  I've  prattled  o'er 
The  born-book  and  the  battledore, 
What  musty  heaps  I've  rattled  o'er, 

And  yet  I've  scarce  begun ! 
But,  with  all  due  volubility, 
I'll  tell  you  with  facility, 
And  wondrous  agility, 

I've  studied,  if  I  can : 


THE   LEARNED   MAN. 

And  if  my  views  do  any  fit, 

I'll  toll  you  in  a  trice 
How  you'll  derive  great  benefit 

By  taking  my  advice. 
First,  shake  off  all  timidity, 
Apply  with  due  solidity, 
Eschewing  every  quiddity, 

To  be  a  learned  man! 

Commence  with  etymology, 

Go  next  into  geology,     . 

Your  head  filled  with  phrenology, 

Although  it  be  a  van ; 
Go  next  to  botanology, 
And  physical  theology,' 
Observing  strict  philology, 

If  you  would  lead  the  van. 
But  mix  up  no  lampoonery 

In  what  yon  say  or  do, 
Nor  let  no  vile  buffoonery 

E'er  emanate  from  you. 
If  you  touch  on  the  majestical, 
Celestial,  or  terrestrial. 
Let  it  not  be  catethestical 

To  be  a  leaVned  man ! 

If  you  display  chirography 

In  any  one's  biography, 

Look  well  to  your  geography — 

Time  and  dates  well  scan; 
Antediluvian  history, 
Mythology's  the  mystery, 
Theology,  consistency, 

To  know  next  be  your  plan: 
And  if  past  mediocrity 

In  wisdom  you  would  soar, 
Go  on  with  all  alacrity 

And  search  for  further  lore. 
Go  next  to  hotfinolo-ry, 
Give  a  gluiice  at  mineralogy, 


51 


SNOW. 

And  ditto  at  astrology, 
To  be  a  learned  man ! 

Learn  alchemy  by  particles, 
Therapeutics  by  articles, 
Pharmacy,  cathartical 

Or  emetical,  if  you  can. 
And  there's  yet  a  multiplicity 
Of  etceteras — electricity, 
Computation  with  facility — 

Of  which  I  haven't  ran ; 
Architecture,  and  zoolography, 

And  dioptrics,  you  must  learn ; 
From  cosmography  to  topography 

And  mechanism  turn ; 
Forms  of  government,  theocracy, 
And  this  one,  termed  democracy, 
Not  forgetting  Honocracy, 

To  be  a  learned  man ! 


UNCLE  SNOW,  \

If  you  have  any  work  to  do,  * 

I  will  do  it  as  well  for  you 

As  any  oder  nigger  hi  dis  nation. 

Chorus. 
Oh,  oh,  oh! — don't  you  hear  me  now? 

Wid  dat  brush,  I  can  beat  out  all  creation  I 
I'm  goin'  on  to  Washington,  to  get  a  job,  you  know, 
To  whitewash  all  de  black  deeds  of  dis  nation. 

When  I  get  to  Washington,  / 

There  will  much  work  have  to  be  done 

•  In  ancient  cleanliness  to  be  removin' ; 


THE   YANKEE   QUILTING-PAETT.  53 

For  de  dirty  work,  I  swear, 
Dat  has  long  been  goin'  on  dere, 
Has  bery  nearly  brought  dis  place  to  ruin. 
Oh,  oh,  oh,  etc. 

"When  I  first  came  to  dis  town, 
Some  twenty  years  ago, 

I  was 'a  gay  and  dashin'  little  feller; 
But  as  I  older  grew, 
I  saved  a  dime  or  two, 

And  set  up  whitewash  business  in  a  cellar. 
Oh,  oh,  oh,  etc. 

Oh,  dere's  one  thing  more  I'd  say, . 
Before  I  go  away,  * 

And  dat's  about  de  colored  population: 
If  dey  had  only  left  'em  alone, 
In  deir  good  old  darkey  home, 

It  would  have  been  better  for  dis  great  and 
glorious  nation. 

Oh,  oh,  oh,  etc. 


THE  YANKEE  QUILTING-PABTY, 
Sung  by  ARCHY  HUGHES. 

IT  was  down  at  Major  Parsons'  house, 

The  gals  they  had  a  quilting, 
Just  for  to  show  their  handsome  looks, 

And  have  a  little  jilting. 
There  was  Deacon  Jones's  daughter  Sal, 

And  Squire  Wheeler's  Mary ; 
And  General  Carter's  youngest  gal, 
That  looked  just  like  a  fairy. 

Chorus. 
Then  Yankee  lasses  all  the  u- 

Niversal  airth  bewitching; 
The  good  and  true,  and  handsome  too, 

The  parlor  or  the  kitchen.

64  THE   YANKEE   QUlI/TINOKPAKTr.     . 

There  was  Lucy  White  and  Martha  Brown, 

And  Jackson's  daughter  Betty; 
Jemima  Pinkhorn,  Prudence  Short, 

And  Major  Downing's  Hetty. 
But  if  there  was  a  handsome  gal 

That  would  make  a  fellow  feel  right, 
I  guess  it  was,  by  all  accounts, 

Miss  Carolina  Cartwright.  „ 

Then  Yankee  lasses,  etc. 

As  they  were  whirling  of  the  plate, 

And  playing-  hunt  tlfe  slipper, 
Jerusha  Parsons  went  to  get 

Some  cider  in  a  pitcher;     • 
But  just  as  she  had  left  the  room, 

And  got  into  .the  entry, 
She  gave  a  scream,'  and  stood  stock  still, 

Just  like  a  frozen  sentry ! 

Then  Yankee  lasses,  etc.  i 

'  "We  all  run  out — and  there,  I  swow, 

Both  huggin'  like  creation, 
Miss  Cartwright  and  Sam  Jones  we  saw 

A-kissing  like  tarnation ! 
Oh,  such  a  laugh  as  we  set  up, 

You  never  heard  a  finer ; 
Says  I,  "I  reckon  kissing's  cheap — 
Don't  you,  Miss  Carolina?" 

Then  Yankee  lasses,  etc. 

You  ought  to  see  Miss  Cartwright  blush ! 

She  looked  as  if  she'd  paiuted ; 
She  said  she  had  the  colic, 

And  in  Samuel's  arms  had  fainted. 
Now,  all  young  gals,  a  word  with  you : 

When  you  go  to  a  frolic, 
%  Don't  let  your  fellers  kiss  and  hug 

Unless  you've  got  the  colic. 

Then  Yankee  lasses,  etc.

AS  SLOW  OUR  SHIP. 
>  Sung  by  J.  A.  HEKHAN. 

AS  slow  our  ship  her  foamy  track 

Against  the  wind  was  cleaving 
Her  trembling  pennant  still  looked  back 

To  that  dear  isle  'twas  leaving. 
So  loth  we  part  from  all  we  love, 

From  all  the  links  that  bind  us, 
So  turn  our  hearts,  where'er  we  rove, 

To  those  we've  left  behind  us. 

When  round  the  bowl  of  vanished  years, 

We  talk  with  joyous  seeming. 
And  smiles,  that  might  as  well  be  tears, 

So  faint,  so  sad  their  beaming,   ^ 
While  mem'ry  brings  us  back  again 

Each  early  tie  that  twined  us, 
Oh !  sweet's  the  cup  that  circles  then 
To  those  we've  left  behind  us. 

\ 
And  when  in  other  climes  we  meet, 

Some  isle  or  vale  enchanting, 
Where  all  looks  flow'ry,  wild,  and  sweet, 

And  naught  but  love  is  wanting—  _ 
We  think  how  great  had  been  our  bliss, 

If  Heaven  had  but  assigned  us 
To  live  and  die  in  scenes  like  this, 
With  some  we've  left  behind  us. 

As  travellers  oft  look  back,  at  eve. 

When  eastward  darkly  going, 
To  gaze  upon  that  light  they  leave, 

Still  faint  behind  them  glowing— 
So  when  the  close  of  pleasure's  day 

To  gloom  hath  near  consigned  us, 
We  turn  to  catch  one  fading  ray 

Of  joy  that's  left  behind  us.

LIMERICK  RACES. 

Sung  by  AKOHY  HUGHES. 

I'M  a  simple  Irish  lad,  I've  resolved  to  see  some  fun,  sirs  ; 
So,  to  satisfy  my  mind,  up  to  Limerick  town  I  come,  sirs. 
Och,  murtlier,  what  a  place,  and  whit  a  charming  city, 
Wliet-e  the  boys  are  all  so  free,  and  the  girls  are  all  so 

witty  !

Musha  ring  a  ding  a  da,  etc. 

It  was  on  the  first  of  May  when  I  began  my  rambles, 
When  every  thing  was  there,  both  jaunting-cars  and  gam- 

bols; 

I  looked  along  the  road  —  it  was  lined  with  smiling  faces, 
All  jogging  off,  ding  dong,  to  go  to  the  Limerick  races  ! 
*    Musha  ring,  etc. 

So,  then,  I  was  resolved  to  go  and  see  the  race,  sirs, 
And  on  a  coach-and-four  I  neatly  took  my  place,  sirs  ; 
When  a  chap  bawls  out,  "Behind!"  —  the  driver  dealt  a 

crack,  sir; 
Faith,  he  struck  me  just  as  fair  as  if  his  eyes  were  in  his 

back,  sir  !  Musha  ring,  etc. 

So,  then,  I  had  to  walk,  and  to  make  no  great  delay,  sirs  ; 
I  arrived  upon  the  course,  where  every  thing  was  gay,  sirs  : 
I  spied  a  wooden  house,  and  in  the  upper  story 
Oh,  a  band  struck  up  a  tune  called  "  Garry  Owen  and 
Glory."  Musha  ring,  etc. 

There  was  fiddlers  playing  jigs,  there  was  lads  and  lasses 

dancing  ; 
And  chaps  upon  their  nags  all  around  the  course  was 

prancing  , 
Some  were  drinking  whiskey-punch,  and  others  singing 


Ah,  give  me  the  shamrock  green,  and  the  splinter  of  shil- 
lalah  !  ,  Musha  ring,  etc.

There  was  betting  to  and  fro,  to  see  who'd  win  the  race, 

sirs ; 

One  of  the  knowing  coves  then  came  np  to  my  face,  sirs : 
Says  he,  "I'll  bet  you  fifty  pounds,  and  I'll  leave  it  down 

this  minute!" — 
"Oh,  then,  ten  to  one,"  says  I,  "that  the  foremost  horse 

will  win  it  I"  Musha  ring,  etc. 

When  the  actors  came  to  town,  what  a  merry  lot  were 

they,  sir! 

I  paid  my  two-thirteens  to  go  and  see  the  play,  sir; 
They  acted  kings  and  queens,  both  Columbine  and  fairy, 
But  I  leaped  upon  the  stage  when  they  struck  up  Paddy

THE  BONES  OF  OLD  FINEGAU, 

Sung  by  AECHY  HUGHES. 

I'M  a  dacent  laboring  youth, 

I  was  born  in  the  town  of  DomshockaUn : 
I'm  a  widower  now  in  niy  youth, 

Since  I  buried  sweet  Molly  McLaughlin. 
I-wur  married  but  once  in  my  life — 

Sure,  I'll  never  commit  such  a  sin  agin  j 
For  I  found  out,  when  she  wur  my  wife, 

She  wur  foud  of  one  Barney  McFinegan, 

Ch&rus — Whack  fie  HI  Ian,  ta  ra  la,  whack  ta  ra  laddy  de, 
With  a  ri  tol  lol  lal  diddle  de  de  de  1 

Her  father  had  castles  of  mud, 

Of  which  I  wur  fond  of  admiring ; 
They  wur  built  in  the  time  of  the  Flood, 

For  to  keep  her  ancestors  dry  in. 
When  he  found  I  had  Molly  bespoke, 

First  he  got  fat,  and  then  he  got  thin  agin ; 
In  the  struggle  his  gizzard  he  broke, 

And  we  had  a  corpse  of  old  Finegan.! 

'  Whack  lie  lil  Ian,  eta 


THE  BONES  OF  OLD  FINEGAN.  61 

For  convanience,  the  corpse  was  put 

Along  with  his  friend  in  the  barn,  sure ; 
And  some  came  to  it  on  foot, 

While  others  came  down  from  Dungarinshore. 
My  wife  she  cried  and  she  sobbed — 

I  chucked  her  out  twice,  and  she  got  in  agin ; 
I  gave  her  a  belt  in  the  gob, 

When  I  wur  knocked  down  by  McFinegan. 

Whack  fie  lil  Ian,  etc. 

The  bed  and  the  corpse  was  upset, 

The  row  it  commenced  in  a  minute,  sure ; 
Divil  a  bit  of  a  stick  had  I  got, 

Till  they  broke  all  the  legs  of  the  furniture  I 
In  faith,  as  I3ie  blood  flew  about, 

Eyes  were  shoved  out  and  shoved  in  agin  j 
I  got  a  southwestern  clout, 

Which  knocked  me  on  top  of  old  Finegan  I 

Whack  fie  lil  Ian,  etc. 

How  long  I  was  dead  I  don't  know — 

But  this  I  know,  I  wasn't  living,  sure ; 
I  awoke  wid  a  pain  in  my  toe, 

For  they  wur  both  tied  wid  a  ribbon,  sure. 
I  opened  my  mouth  for  to  Spake, 

The  shate  was  rolled  up  to  my  chin  again; 
"Och,  Molly,"  says  I,  "I'm  awake"— 

"Och,"  says  she,  "you'll  be  buried  wid  Finegan." 
Whack  fie  lil  Ian,  etc. 

I  opened  my  eyes  for  to  see — 

I  strove  to  get  up,  to  knock  her  about ; 
I  found  that  my  two  toes  were  tied  • 

Like  a  spoon  in  a  pot  of  thick  stirabout  1 
But€  soon  got  the  use  of  my  toes, 

By  a  friend  of  the  corpse,  Larry  Gilligan, 
Who  helped  me  to  get  into  my  clothes, 

For  to  spread  a  grass  quilt  over  Finegan. 

Whack,  fie  lil  Ian,  etc,

Och,  my  she-divil  came  home  from  the  spree, 

Full  of  whiskey,  and  ripe  from  the  buryin',  sure ; 
And  she  showed  as  much  mercy  to  me 

As  a  hungry  man  shows  to  a  herrin',  sure. 
One  Billy-go-fister  I  gave, 

"Which  caused  her  to  grunt  and  to  grin  agin  ~ 
In  six  months  I  opened  the  grave 

And  slapped  her  on  the  bones  of  Finegan.

It's  now,  that  I'm  single  again, 

I'll  spind  my  time  rakin'  and  batterin' ;

And  I'll  dance  wid  the  girls  for  a  patterin'. 
They'll  swear  that  I'm  stuck  to  a  lee, 

And  think,  as  they  say,  to  catch  him  agin ; 
But  they'll  not  come  the  kuckle  o'ep  me,       « 

For  they  might  be  related  to  Finegan.

That  for  many  a  thousand  years 

Has  worked  unto  a  charm,  sir. 
But  some  rogues  talk  of  selling  out, 

And  splitting  up  this  Union ;

The  cotton-bags,  away  down  South, 

Are  waxing  mighty  sore,  sir; 
And  so  they  will,  and  so  they  did 

In  Eighteen  Thirty-four,  sir. 
They  Bwore  our  States  they'd  nullify, 

And  peel  off  like  an  onion ; 
But  General  Jackson  crowed  "Shanghai!" 

And  made  them  stick  to  the  Union. 

Then  wake  up,  etc. 

I  vow  it  is  a  tarnal  shame 

That  these  same  cotton-bags,  sir, 
That  helped  to  fence  our  freedom  in, 

Should  help  to  split  our  flag,  sirs ! 
But  we  won't  suffer  such  disgrace          • 

From  any  rebel  minion ; 
"We'll  whitewash  every  nigger's  face, 

And  make  him  squeal  out,  "  Union!"

Has  waved  where  oceans  roll  now; 
And  the  Yankees  they  have  just  gone  out 

For  to  plant  it  on  a  pole  now ! 
May  he,  who  would  divide  that  flag, 

By  stirring  up  t/w-uuion, 
Be  tied  up  in  a  woollen  bag, 

And  choked  till  he  cries  out,  "UNION!" 

Then  wake  up,  etc. 

Horace  Greeley,  Wendell  Phillips  too; 

Are  a  pair  of  Siamese  twins,  sir ; 
They  ought  to  go  below,  you  know, 

To  answer  for  their  sins,  sir. 
They  both  should  marry  monkeys,  too, 

And  cut  a  pretty  figure  ; 
For  a  monkey,  you  all  know,  my  boys, 

Is  the  nearest  thing  to  a  nigger.

Den  jump  on  board  de  car! 
So  good-by  to  de  fair  sex, 
Good-by  to  de  thing  called  a  greenback  I 
"  Ober  de  left"  we're  comin', 
Three  hundred  millions  more ! 

Gober'ment  wheels  scream  out,  while  turning, 
"More  soap!  to  keep  de  'ex'  from  burning;" 
Now,  Chase  he  is  a  clever  laddie, 
But  Father  Abram  is  lu's  daddy. 

Look  to  de  east,  etc. 

"Wall  street  is  but  a  small  plantation — 
Too  small  to  eber  rule  a  nation ; 
Old  Father  Abe  don't  care  about  it, 
He  gets  on  bery  well  widout  it. 

Look  to  de  east,  etc. 

Three  hundred  dollars  is  a  "  clear"  tax 
When  one  has  pockets  lined  wid  greenbacks ; 
But  when  dis  war  comes  to  an  ending, 
Some  characters  will  need  some  mending ! 

Look  to  de  east,  etc. 


I  AM  LONELY  TO-NIGHT. 
Words  and  Music  by  G.  W.  H.  GKIFFIN.     Sung  by  J.  LA  MOJTT. 

I  AM  lonely  to-night  in  my  sad  little  chamber, 

While  the  stars  sweetly  shine  upon  all  I  hold  ^ear; 

They  have  gone  from  their  home  with  a  bold,  fearless 

ranger — 
There's  a  void  in  my  heart,  for  they  are  not  here. 

Oh,  why  d'id  they  leave  me,  alone  and  deserted, 
To  risk  their  dear  lives  on  the  blood-sprinkled  plain? 


UNCLE   SAM   GRANT.  69 

Should  they  never  return,  this  poor  heart  would  soon 

wither, 
And  never  know  joy  or  comfort  again. 

Chorus. 
I  am  lonely  to-night,  I  am  lonely  to-night, 

While  the  stars  sweetly  shine  upon  all  I  hold  dear ; 
I  am  lonely,  I  am  lonely  to-night. 

I  am  lonely  to-night,  but  ere  spring-birds  shall  warble 

Their  matinal  song  in  the  wild  forest-tree, 
And  the  bright,  limpid  brook  with  sweet  music   shall 
bubble— 

.My  heart  will  grow  lighter  when  thinking  of  thee. 
Then  fleet  by,  dull  hours,  and  bring  back  the  loved  ones, 

Who  parted  from  friends  With  a  tear- moistened  eye  ; 
For  then  this  sad  heart  will  no  longer  be  lonely, 

But  joyous  and  happy  as  the  mild  azure  sky. 

I  am  lonely  to-night,  etc. 


UNCLE  SAM  GRANT, 

Performed,  with  shouts  of  laughter  and  applause,  by  Hooley's  Min- 
strels. 

I  SUPPOSE  you  have  heard  of  the  great  commander — 
He's  second  to  none  but  Alexander; 

TJ.  S.  Gr.'s  the  man  for  me, 

Three  cheers  for  your  Uncle  Sam ! 
He's  come  from  the  West,  with  the  spangled  banner — 
A  mud-sill,  and  his  trade  a  tanner ; 

Good-by,  Chase  1  you'll  lose  the  race, 

He  can  distance  Abraham  I 

Chorus. 

U  stands  for  Uncle,  U.  S.  for  Uncle  Sam,' 
But  U.  S.  G-.  it  just  suits  me,  or  any  other  man! 
He  dug  a  trench  at  Vicksburg:  as  sure  as  you're  alive, 
He'll  dig  one  more  round  the  White-House  door  in  1865. 


70  YOUNG   KITTY. 

At  Donelson,  'mid  the  wintry  weather, 
He  gave  them  a  smell  of  Yankee  leather; 
There  Floyd  and  Pillow  caught  a  fanning — 
Their  rebel  hides  weren't  worth  the  tanning, 
U  stands  for  Uncle,  etc. 

Grant  marched  his  men,  worn  and  dejaded, 
To  Vicksburg,  where  he  was  blockaded ; 
He  dug  a  canal — none  dare  dispute  him — 
The  river  would  not  rise  to  suit  him. 

U  stands  for  Uncle,  etc. 

Round  the  town  Grant  did  assemble, 
The  Butternuts  did  quake  and  tremble ! 
Then  Pemberton's  Rebs  did  surrender 
To  Grant,  the  Union's  brave  defender. 

U  stands  for  Uncle,  etc. 

At  Chattanooga,  Bragg  did  face  him, 
Little  thinking  Grant  would  lace  him ; 
He's  packed  in  the  vat  where  Grant  will  soak  him- 
There  let  him  lay — may  the  tan-bark  choke  him ! 
U  stands  for  Uncle,  etc. 

Here's  a  health  to  the  pet  of  the  Yankee  nation, 
The  next  overseer  of  Sam's  plantation  ; 
Three  cheers  for  GRANT  and  his  men  together, 
And  nine  for  his  sole  and  upper  leather ! 

U  stands  for  Uncle,  etc. 


YOUNG  KITTY, 

WHEN  daylight  was  yet  sleeping  under  the  billow, 
And  stars  in  the  heavens  still  lingering  shone, 

Young  Kitty,  all  blushing,  rose  up  from  her  pillow, 
The  last  time  she  e'er  was  to  press  it  alone. 

For  the  youth  whom  she  treasured  her  heart  and  her  soul  in, 
Had  promised  to  link  the  last  tie  before  noon  ; 

And,  when  once  the  young  heart  of  a  maiden  is  stolen, . 
The  maiden  herself  will  steal  after  it  soon  1 


LTJLA  IS  GONE.  ^  71 

LULA  IS  GONE, 
Sung  by  J.  A.  HERMAN. 

WITH  a  heart  forsaken  I  wander, 

In  silence,  in  grief,  and  alone ; 
On  a  form  departed  I  ponder, 
•    For  Lula,  sweet  Lula,  is  gone' — 
Gone  where  the  roses  have  faded, 

Gone  where  the  meadows  'are  bare, 
To  a  land  by  orange-blossoms  shaded, 
.  Where  summer  ever  lingers  on  the  air. 

Chorus. 

Lula,  Lula,  Lula  is  gone  I 
With  summer  birds  her  bright  smiles 

To  sunny  lands  have  flown. 
When  day  breaketh  gladly, 
My  heart  waketh  sadly, 

For  Lula,  Lula  is  gone  I' 

Not  a  voice  awakens  the  mountains, 

No  gladness  returns  with  the  dawn ; 
Not  a  smile  is  mirrored  in  the  fountains — 

For  Lula,  sweet  Lula  is  gone ! 
Day  is  bereft  of  its  pleasures, 

Night  of  its  beautiful  dreams; 
While  the  dirge  of  well-remembered  measures 

Is  murmured  by  the  ripple  oa  the  streams. 

Lula,  Lula,  Lula  is  gone,  etc. 

When  I  view  the  chill-blighted  bowers, 

And  roaming  o'er  the  snow-covered  plain, 
How  I  long  for  spring's  budding  flowers 

To  welcome  her  sweet  smiles  again  1 
Why  does  the  earth  seem  forsaken? — . 

Time  will  this  sadness  remove  : 
At  her  voice  the  meadows  will  awaken 

To  verdure,  sweet  melody,  and  love  I 

Lula,  Lula,  Lula  is  gone,,  etc. 


72  •          THE  VACANT  CHAIR. 

THE  VACANT  CHAIE, 
Sung  by  G.  A.  PARKERSON. 

WE  shall  meet,  but  we  shall  miss  him, 

There  will  be  one  vacant  chair; 
"We  shall  linger  to  caress  him 

While  we  breathe  our  evening  prayer. 
When,  a  year  ago,  we  gathered, 

Joy  was  in  his  mild  blue  eye ; 
But  a  golden  chord  is  severed, 

And  our  hopes  in  ruin  lie. 

Chorus-We  shall  meet,  etc. 

At  our  fireside,  sad  and  lonely, 

Often  will  the  bosom  swell 
At  remembrance  of  the  story 

How  ou.r  noble  Willie  fell ! — 
How  he  strove  to  bear  our  banner 

Through  the  thickest  of  the  fight, 
And  upheld  our  country's  honor 
,        In  the  strength  of  manhood's  might  I 

We  shall  meet,  etc. 

True,  they  tell  us  wreaths  of  glory 

Evermore  will  deck  his  brow  ; 
But  this  soothes  the  anguish  only,   • 

Sweeping  o'er  our  heart-strings  now. 
Sleep  to-day,  0  early  fallen, 

In  thy  green  and  narrow  bed ! 
Dirges  from  the  pine  and  cypress 

Mingle  with  the  tears  we  shed. 

We  shall  meet,  etc.
